Writing CT source apps-As described in How to get your data into CT, CloudTurbine source data can be created in several ways:

Writing CT sink apps-It can be fairly straightforward to create a CloudTurbine source (i.e., a CloudTurbine-compatible folder/file structure) either manually, using the CloudTurbine Java API or with practically any programming language.

Can I do Skype-like video-chat via CloudTurbine?-In and of itself, CloudTurbine does not include a server to distribute data. However, CloudTurbine can readily leverage the mirroring and data distribution capabilities of virtually any third-party file sharing service.

How can I help?-As an open source project, CloudTurbine development is a collaborative effort. If you would like to collaborate, or get more involved with CloudTurbine development, please visit our forums and the App-Kit pages.

What are the advantages of CT?-CloudTurbine is data agnostic. There is no dedicated CloudTurbine server. You control and store your own data wherever you see fit. CloudTurbine leverages the proliferation and scalability of third-party file sharing services. CloudTurbine is free and open source software
